One of the first time I showed grit was on the wrestling mat. Wrestling is such a hard sport physically and mentally. During matches, it is an all-out brawl, on my feet I constantly hand fighting for an inside tie and nothing is illegal. I got hit in the eye and I felt an instant pain and could tell I had a black eye but, I blocked out the pain and kept on fighting. I finally got an inside tie and went to take a shot and received an unexpected a hand right in the nose and blood started to ooze out of it so, I put a plug in it and kept wrestling.Then the second period started my mind was telling me to take a break but I pushed through it and I chose bottom. The ref blew his whistle and I started the consistent grind to get back on my feet.
